Kara's Gift

So I have still been sick which explains the lack of posting. My best friend, Kara, came over the other night and I gave her Christmas gift. I got her some jewelery and perfume from Paris and made her a set of mirrors for her room. I quickly took some pictures of the present before she got to my house. The mirrors need to be cleaned but I was running short on time!



I also made her a BFF mixed cd.





The mirror's quote is by Coco Chanel: "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

Home. I'm coming home. Home is wherever I'm with you.

I am home in my own comfy bed. Now what the hell, Florida! Warm up! I'm still sick but hopefully tomorrow I will feel up to making a post of all my goodies from Paris shopping.

Au Revoir, Paris

Yes, I'm sad I'm leaving. My last day in Paris was very uneventful. I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. I thought it would be best to get some soup and stay indoors so I didn't chance the cemetery. I'm not looking forward to my day of travel with this cold. Luckily, Bouba is wonderful and brought me medicine. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow. :(

Just another day in Paris

Today I majorly slept in. I think I'm still jet-lagged. Tomorrow is my last day in the city and Wednesday is a day of travel. I hate flying and somehow got stuck with an aisle seat again on the flight from Paris to Washington D.C. UGH. The only good thing about the aisle seat is you don't have to awkwardly wake someone up to use the restroom. Oh well, I'll be home soon enough and will have a few days to recoup before another semester of Graphic Design. Woohoo!

Pompidou

So today I visited the Pompidou, my favorite modern art museum here in Paris. It was lovely and free (first Sunday of every month!). The building itself is a work of art. It has multiple escalators you ride up while getting a great view of Paris near the top! I saw the permanent collection which is still elles@pompidou, a collection of work all done by women. I bought the catalog when I was here in June but it was great to see everything in person again. It's so inspiring. This time I remembered to bring my camera, duh! Here is a picture of the building itself.




Only two full days left in Paris. I still have to go to the cemetery and I want to see the new Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky movie. I'm kind of excited to get home and sleep in my own bed with Miss Lucy again. I miss my kitty! Also, definitely want to catch up with Jeremy and see how New York was. I haven't talked to him since before I left for Paris. Weird!

The cemetery was closed

So, instead I created a polyvore of things I've been COVETING for so long now. I have expensive taste unfortunately.

Père-Lachaise

I'm off to visit my boys Jim Morrison and Mr. Oscar Wilde at Le Cimetière du Père-Lachaise. I couldn't sleep well last night and forgot to set my alarm. I ended up waking up at 2pm. WTF. I'm setting my alarm NOW for tomorrow.

Now to navigate the Metro in Paris. It's easy!

A New Year

Bonjour! I'm in Paris again, this wonderful city. It's strange traveling alone, but what a great experience! For New Year's Eve I met up with some of my Parisian friends and we ran all around trying to find somewhere to dance. Paris is so crowded this time of year and here I thought the weather would scare the tourists off. I was wrong!



So a new year is upon us and I of course have some resolutions for myself.

• Manage money better
• Keep an updated planner
• Join a gym and use it
• Dress fabulously every day
• Accessorize more
• Make more meals at home
• Start and keep up with an online blog

It's easy to say these things now of course, though I am starting a blog aren't I? Happy New Year's!
